This short story simply would not exist without the jumbled-up word suggestions of M.L. White, Frasier Armitage, Dušan Farrington and @WeirdMicro.

I have never previously come across a perfumed elf, nor have I ever associated a ship with invisibility or magic boots. All of these elements came together in a round of Exquisite Corpse played during episode 6 ("6-Story Challenge"), when listeners’ words were picked at random to form that fateful sentence:

“The perfumed elf swapped boots with the midnight ship.” 

Thanks also to Tammy Nieuwoudt, M.L. White and Alessandro Bozzo for their additional feedback on the development of this story (shared in episode 7, "What Happens Next #2").

What readers are saying

Review of The Empty Danger: 5.0 out of 5 stars 
"I've never been one really to read novellas taking place during the current climate, but the way Anna Tizard composed The Empty Danger was inspiring. I appreciated her unique take on the pandemic and how to keep hopes alive in troubled times." - Scottish Hunni
​
"One of those writers whose work makes me itch to write as well... effortlessly profound, yet with a tongue in cheek kind of edge." - Tonya Moore, author 

"The form for the Exquisite Corpse seems pretty clear...  I like your style of writing- it is easy and draws you in. I really wanted to carry on reading as it was quite magical." - Gill
